—In Detail

Sports-minded readers, and especially tennis enthusiasts, will be interested in Behind the Scenes at Wimbledon by Lieut.- Colonel A. D. C. Macaulay and Sir John Smyth. Both had dis tinguished military careers and both have had a life-time interest in international tennis —Macaulay as a referee and later secretary of the All England Club at Wimbledon, and Smyth as a journalist.

The book is mainly concerned with the Wimbledon Champion ships from 1922, the year that they were played for the first time at the All England Club’s new premises in Church Road.

The book is well produced, with plenty of photographs of tennis stars of the present and the past. The text contains an almost ball-by-ball account of each year’s championship matches up to 1964.
